What I meant by "medium coat of gloss" is that I sprayed it just a little wet. Maybe I need to apply multiple thin layers and let them dry until i build up a strong glossy coat for the washes. Now I'm scared to death of the wet gloss coats people use. For now I gave her a new coat of color and she looks fine.

I have seen this when I try matte on mettalic. But this was actually with a gloss, not a matte coat. Maybe I flooded it? I dont know what I did. It didnt form till it dried.

I need some painting advice to correct a mishap. I got this white flash after adding a medium coat of gloss. (It may be from humidity or my skill level. I dont know...) I've masked it off. Can I add another light layer of color on top of that to correct it? Thanks.

Eye decal fit test looks good. These look about 10% too large, but I will take that over my neanderthal hand painting any day. The eyes are the most important and most difficult part of a figure. Without these decals, I would never even try it.

Got my panel lining on. The Humbrol Clear doesnt seem to give a strong gloss after two light coats, so the enamel wash seeps a bit. It either needs a lot more coats next time, or it just doesnt work. For my standards its okay.

Xigfrid, You're a Shapeways guru; What kind of metal composites do you think these guys are using for the weak joints? Or what's possible these days?

Really excited in the direction HMR is going, with rare figures.

How much sanding does that thing need? Hats off to you resin modelers. Three hours later I'm not past the boots!

Because its not real die cast. I recently bought my son an old fashioned game of jacks. I dare you to break these!

Never saw a VF-2 I liked. But this I want.

I've got some figure painting to do. My first time. I think I will airbrush and hand brush details. Can anyone recommend good How-To videos to deal with these?

What are those two? YF19? and what? Which mortar head kit is that?

Thats what I was going to say. In modeling we have skill moves, lucky shots, and nice saves!

I have been planning some base construction for a while. I printed this Nadia Blue Water design on a 2mm acrylic sheet at my local office supply store. Good deal! It will be backlit in a gold frame for the base.

Good old Yamato. The dumbest valk mistake I made was selling my 30th anniversary Roy and Hikaru, thinking that the Arcadia would be an upgrade. Now I have a pink Roy. Sheeeeeesh. -
Got the clear coat down on the deck. Thats my Humbrol clear in light coats. The hull is ready for its clear coat. Engine color matching test is good enough for me.

Do we know if anyone will reissue Moscato's Atmospheric booster?

I always use FJ. Dont know how it compares in terms of rates. But never had any problems with them. Unfortunately, it has been impossible to load their site for months now on my computer. I use Windows Chrome. Anyone else experience this?
-
Nothing compared to you masters. But i tried to go light with the airbrush and mist on the coats. I wanted to keep some of the pre-shading. Not sure if I did it right. But maybe the gloss coat will bring it to life.

No, those are styrene custom details I have already added and painted in the photos above. That's just how I planned them out. They are based on the old J-Factory resin kit.

Xigfrid, you dont know failed white paint till you see mine. It is motorized, you can see on my youtube page. Electronics will be re-installed after finishing the painting,
